WRITERS NAMED TO
HELP NEWSGATHERING
. About fifty students, of the eight
thousand enrolled in the University
re more or less regularly engaged in
reporting news for the Daily Ne
braskan. Some of the reporters have
regular "runs" and others write up
anything required. While it is against
the policy of the paper to credit each
story to its writer, it is felt that the
gathering of news will be somewhat
facilitated if more of the reporters
are known.
Student organizations whose activi
ties are not getting the proper pub
licity in the Nebraskan should ap
point a reporter or make arrange
ment with the managing editor of
the Nebraskan to have a staff re
porter cover their activities for the
"Rag."
John Hollingsworth is the sports
editor of the Nebraskan, and writes
daily stories on the progress of the
"fighting Cornhuskers" on the grid
field. Included in his list of as
sistants is William Cejnar, who cov

UNIVERSITY OF
Social Service
Worker Speaks to
Sociology Classes
Miss Ida Cannon, director of the
social service department of the
Massachusetts general hospital, ad
dressed sociology classes Tuesday on
training for medical social service.
She stressed the need of specializa
tion in the big hospitals, which will
lead to the elimination of the human
element. There is a need, she said,
for making medicine less an art and
more a science.
ADD ATHLETIC EVENTS
TO DAD'S DAY PROGRAM
Varsity Quartet, Orchestra,
Speakers and Boxing for
Luncheon Nov. 10.
In addition to the varsity quartet,
an orchestra, and various speakers,
several athletic events, such as box
ing, are planned for the entertain
ment of the dads at the luncheon on
Dad's Day November 10, according
to information given out Wednesday
afternoon by members of the commit
tee in charge of the arrangements.
Dr. George P. Shidler of York, a
Nebraska graduate and a prominent
young men's worker, is scheduled to
give the principal address at) the
luncheon. Dr. Shidler, well known
to many Nebraskans, gave the alumni
address last alumni week.
Tickets for the luncheon are ex
pected to go on sale Monday, and
may be secured from any Viking.
The luncheon starts at 11 a. m.,
and serving will begin at 11:30. Im
mediately following the luncheon and
short program, the body will go the
stadium where the student section
has been extended to take care of
the dads for the Notre Dame game.
As soon as possible students are
asked to ascertain whether their
fathers will be present, and to give
the information to Philip Lewis. Ihis
is highly important, members of the
committee state, in order that prep
arations may be made for luncheon.
Students who failed to get a copy
of the Nebraskan containing the let
ter and story concerning the plans
for the day, may receive a copy by
calling at the Nebraskan office.
An innovation this year is that co
eds have been requested to ask their
fathers down for the day also, for
while the daughters themselves can
not attend the luncheon at noon, the
fathers can go with someone else,
and attend the game with their
daughters.
Tickets for the game may be ob
tained in advance by calling at the
student activities office, accompan
ied by the father, the morning of the
game.
Dads a thousand strong took pos
session of the campus last year and
twice as many are expected for the
event this year.
Freshmen, Will You Do Your
Part Towards Beating Irish?
Freshmen, would you like to help
Nebraska's i"fiehting Cornhuskers"
defeat the "f ightin' Irish" from Notre
Dame in the memorial stadium a
week from Saturday?
Certainly you would. Further
more, you are going to have an op
portunity to help win the Notre Dame
contest, that "game of games," at
which vou will see the greatest dis
play of traditional HucLer fight ever
exhibited at the Comhusker scnooi.
How? By pledging one or more
units towards Che payment for the
new memorial stadium.
"But how will this help to win the
Notre Dame game?" ask the fresh
men. Here is the explanation:
Nebraska's football squad, under
the direction of Head Coach Dawson,
Coach Schulte and assistants, is out
on the athletic field today, tomor
row, and every Bay preparing for
the contest with the Notre Dame
team, which is being hailed as the
"greatest football machine in the
country." The moleskin warriors
are grinding and drilling, making
every effort to be able to turn back
the Irish onslaught on the 10th.
The team is doing its part toward
the winning of the Notre Dame game.
Something more, however, is nec
essary, if Nebraska is to defeat
Notre Dame in the conflict -next
week. Loyalty and support by the
student body is an indispensable fac

tor in the success of an athletic team.
Furthermore, the team must know
that the student body is behind it.
How can the students prove their
loyalty to the team and to the school?
The team and coaches know that
the upperclassmen vand faculty are
loyal because they went over the top
in the great stadium drive last year.
The upperclassmen and faculty
have done " their part towards the
winning of the Notre Dame game.
Are the freshmen going to do their
part towards the winning of the No
tre Dame game?
They can do it in one way, and
in one way onlyfund that is by going
over the top "Freshman Week" and
pledging not only the 1,127 units on
the stadium allotted them by the
alumni association, but even taking
1,400 or 1,500 units, thus giving con
crete proof of their loyalty to the
team and to the school.
Freshmen, the eyes rof the football
team, the upperclassmen, and the
faculty are upon you. They are
hoping that the freshman will show
the traditional Husker fight and loy
alty to the Set-let and Cream by put

FOURTH OF Y QUOTA
IS RAISED FIRST DAY
Gleason's Team Takes Honors
Wednesday Noon With
$38.50 Pledged.
Five hundred dollars, about one
fourth of the quota in the
University Y. M. C. A.'s drive
for funds, were raised during
the first day of the campaign, ac
cording to reports made by the team
captains at the luncheon of the drive
workers held yesterday noon at the
Grand hotel. Only a few students
have been interviewed by the solici
tors, but as the drive gets into full
swing it is expected that reports this
noon will show most of the quota
raised.
All worke: u will meet again .this
noon at the Grand hotel to report
their rjroeress and discuss further
plans. The final report will be made
at the luncheon tomorrow.
Monroe Gleason's team with a to
tal of $38.50 to its credit captured
the honors for yesterday among the
twenty teams. The team captained
by Wendell Brown was second with
$37.00. The lowest report was $12.
"The spirit shown by the men
of the University in response to the
appeal of the "Y" lor money with
which to carry on its work, has been
very gratifying," Bennett S. Mar
tin, general chairman of the drive,
said yesterday. "The men who are
workine on the committees are show
ing themselves to be hard and willing
workers."
The caDtain of th'3 winning team,
"Duke" Gleason, gave the workers a
little advice on how to approach their
prospects. Prof. A. A. Reed also
gave a short talk.
W. Paul McCaffree, general secre
tary of the University Y. M. C A.,
called the attention of the workers
to a "Y" activity that is little known
on the campus, the weekly World
Forum dinners. Speakers of na
tional importance address these
meetings.
Any student who ha3 not been
asked to subscribe to the fund and
who wishes to do so may give his
contribution to" the general secretary,
Mr. McCaffree, in the Temple.
Members of the Oregon Aggie team

STUDENTS RESPOND TO
DRIVE LAST TWO DAYS
Officials Pleased With Success
of Voluntary Payment of
Stadium Pledges.
Payment of stadium pledges picked
up during the last two days of the
campaign and left officials pleased
with the success of the voluntary pay
ment plan. Law 106 is the place
where students should pay the sec
ond installment of the pledges which
came due October 24.
"The office is very well pleased
with the interest shown by the stu
dents in the payment of their pledges
and while we realize that all could
not pay them during the booth cam
paign, they should meet their obliga
tions within the month," stated Ray
Stryker, yesterday.
The money is needed immediately
by the men in charge of the financ
ing of the stadium, and it is impera
tive, according to officials, that the
payments be made before November
1 in Law 106.
The stadium pledge is a note, say
committeemen, and the second install
ments fell due a week ago. An ad
ditional month will be given the stu
dents, however.
Professor George E. Condra is
in Hastings this week on field work
connected with the soil survey.
New Spirit
To Awaken
On Campus
You are about to witness and to
take part in . the awakening of a new
spirit in the University of Nebraska.
This spiri will make its appearance
in an historic old building on the
campus at the hour of 7 on Tuesday
night, November 6. What will it be?
Suffice it to say that whatever it is,
it will be "something for nothing"
and that something will stay with
you for a long time.
At the hour of 7 this spirit will
arise and spread itself over the as
sembled multitude of the University.
Let us see you there, freshmen, soph
omores, juniors and seniors. Watrh
tomorrow's "Rag" for more complete
information concerning this mystic
party.
Plan right now to see this unusual
happening which will doubtless grow
to be Nebraska's greatest, most cher
ished tradition.

SCRIBE PREDICTS IRISH
INVADERS DUE TO SLIP
When the invading Irish from No
tre Dame hit Nebraska in their an
nual grid clash here November 10
they will know they have hit some
thing. The Cornhuskers have been
nutting in the hardest licks of the
year this week and when the Scarlet
and Cream warriors take the field
they will be a more experienced and
much better drilled team than they
have been so far this year.
Head Coach Dawson and his assist
ants have been working overtime
whipping their proteges into shape
and good results have been noticed
already. There is such a thing pos
sible that Notre Dame gridsters will
come out loaded for bear and so sure
they will get a lot of game that they
will slip up on something. Many slips
are expected by the Nebraska follow
ers. Every Man in Shape.
With every man in tip-top shape,
Coach Dawson has plenty of material
to work on for the big game and is
using every available method to put
out a winning team.
Practice Wednesday was slowed up
a trifle by the groggy field but the
squad was out there working and
grinding. Everything was on the bill
from kicking and passing to "knock
'em down" scrimmage with the fresh
men. The varsity gained consistently
from the yearlings and the frosh
were seldom able to make yardage.
Hendrickson and McGlasson were
tearing 'em up in the line on the
varsity and good gains were made
consistently through these forwards.
Three hours of hard practice are
on the schedule for every day of the
remaining week and for the first part
of next week when the procedure may
be changed slightly according to
the coaches.
